Learning unit contents
Use of in vivo and in vitro tests to evaluate toxicity of chemical substances and drugs
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
To evaluate toxicity of chemical substances and drugs, and before human use, several experimental steps must be done :
- micro-organism tests : speed and cheap, but with a lot of disadvantages (cell wall, none micro-oranite, specificity of ADN repair mechansisms, etc...);
- eukaryotic cells tests : allow to control exactly the concentration used but not the study of influence of metabolic activation/inactivation (important in the study of cancer);
- in vivo tests : results more sensitive and easier to transpose to human; the choice of a species is the "key" choice ; it is determinated by taking into account metabolic process and detoxification mechanisms.
